TURNER. Sec't. For the second time in 1913, the Hed- h-y Golel Mining Company is distrihn- ting profits from its mining anel milling operations a I tho Nickel Plate property at'Hedley. This is the second dividend of the year, and provides for the distribution of $60,000, heing the regular quarterly 3% and an additional bonus of 2% on the capital stock. The total paid in dividends by this' company since they acquired thes property in August 1909 is now $081,000. anel if the* present rate is continued, the million mark will bo pat-sod by a goodly amount by the payment of one more dividend. Development work has more than kept pace with the mining oi" the ore required to pay these dividends. The reserves have been steadily increased, until it is now estimated that fully 23,000 tons of broken ore are in the stopes, ready to be sent down the tram. With the hotter facilities that have now been provided by the No. -t tunnel for the handling of ore, and the new Dickson incline shaft, which will soon be a factor in more economical hoisting, the cost of mining should be materially decreased, anel the future of the Nickel Plate as a dividend payer is decieledly rosy. The official announcement of the dividend-is as follows: Hkdley Gold : Mining ..Cojipaxy 42 Broadway ���������'.,",,. New York, June 11, 1913 A quarterly dividend of three per cent (3%) and an additional divielenel of,two per cent. (2%) has this day been declared on the outstanding capital stock of this Company, payable on Monday, June 30th, 1913 to stockholders of recorel at 3:00 o'clock "p. m., 011 Monday, June 16th, 1913. Transfer books will be closed on Monday, June lGth, 1913, at 3:00 p.m. and re-open on Tuesday,'July 1st, 1913, at 10:00 o'clock a. m. Hedley Gold Mining Company John D. Clarke, Secretary. Tn view of the fact, that the C.P.R; ccuild^not complete', the proposed new boat'for the Okamigan Lake service, pi'ovieled for in the 1913 estimates, in time to be .pub into crnnmision this year, it was recently decided by the company to defer putting into operation the proposed double-daily service on the Sicamous Okanagan Landing branch for 'another season. This statement was made by Mr. A. Ii. Stevens, acting general superintendent of the* Pacific elivision yesterday, when asked as to the company's plans- with regard to augmenting the present service on the Okanagan branch. He pointed out that if the suggesU-d elouble daily service: on the Sicamons railway branch alone hael been instituted this season it would have resulted in a slower service for the people living at points along the lake anil wonlil have meant;-making connections with later jiyestboimcl trains, which would have brought passengers into Vancouver late in the clay. The steamer to be built by the C.P.R this year for service on the Okanagan Lake will be a sister-craft to the fine, splendidly-appointed, vessel recently launched at Nelson for service On the Arrow Lakes, jVIr.1 Stevens stated. When it is constructed there will be two boats each way daily on the lake and two daily trains on the connecting bianch. HOW IT HAPPENED Particulars as to Death of Billy. Cohen MINING NOTES DR. J. L.

London, June 10.���������If Mr Joseph Martin lias his way Earl Grey will be criminally prosecuted for what Mr Martin calls "his seditious letter" in the Timesof yesterday. Mr' Martin has also given notice of his intention to urge Mr Asquith in. the House of Commons on weelnosday, to suppress the Times. In the letter which so excites Mr Mar-tin's anger, Earl Grey expressed heart-felt symyathy with Ulsterinen in their fight against Home Rule and, speaking from his Canadian experience1, predicted bloodshed and civil war. Mr Martin's displeasure with Earl Grey is accentuated by the fact that his lordship has been frequently quoted in debate and urging a sympathetic Unionist attitude towards Irish depopulation. Indeed, Mr Asquith, in the House of Commons today, quoted from a speech made by Earl Grey during the debate on the second reading of the Home Rule Bill in theHouse of Lords. E. E.

A new monthly journal, calleel Industrial Propress, will make its initial appearance this month. It will he descriptive of the industrial elevelop- nient of British Columbia. A sail accident occurreel iu Greenwood last week, when John, the: eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Rendell, pioneers of the Boundary country, was drowned in a pond. He had gone in bathing alone, and no one witnessed the accielent. Work has been resumed on the property of the Dividend .Lake View Consolidate-el Campany. The Company owns several claims on- the west siele of Osoyoos Lake, just north of the International boundary. The values are chiefly in gold, and the present plans include the erection of a mill to Li-eat the oiVs. A compressor.is heing installed near the Nighthawk mine,, at the town of that name. The development of .the. Granby .Go's new properties at Hidden Creek by diamond'drilling.'has been very successful, and over 10,000,000 tons of ore have been proven up by this means. The warmer weather- in the Cariboo country has made possible the renewal of-operations'in the placer* miriiiig districts, situateel there. The total ore "shipments from the Boundary distiicb for 1913 has passed the 900,000 ton mark with last week's output. The Granby mines leael with 572,000 tons, and the Mother Lode was second with 152,000 tons. The British Columbia Copper Company has a force of 110 men employed at the properties in upper Voigt's Camp, both in diamond drilling and other exploration. Professsor Rees will make an ex- tended'investigation of the clays of this region this summer. A total of 112,000 tons of ore has been shipped this year from the Ross- land mines to elate, over half of which came from the Centre Star. Work is going along merrily at Clifton which is the name of the new diamond eli-illing camp which is exploring the rugged mountain siele anel canyons to the east of Twenty-mile. Two eli ills have been at work for a few weeks anel it was the intention to start another on Friday last���������that was Friday 13th, 1913���������just to demonstrate the fact that the mining capabilities of the camp are proof against so colossal a hoodoo as Friday 13th. Mr. Beam has his exploration force well organized, with capable men in charge, and the most favorable results are looked for by the whole camp. For more reasons than one, Hedley takes a kindly interest in the present operations, and best wishes ge> out for the highest measure of success in the enterprise. A little over four years ago Mr. Beam first arrived on the scene and proved a fi-ienel in need, for it is well-known that the camp was then passing through a crises, the possible outcome e^f which is not pleasant to contemplate, and hail he not come at that particular time, to bring about a change which has shown up the folly of the course being pursued by those in charge, there woulel have been a very different tale to tell to-day. Some time during Monday night, or early Tuesday morning, Win. Cohen, a widely known half breed, living at Keremeos, was bucked from his horse near the easfc end of the railroad tunnel at Rich Bar, about four miles west of Oroville, sustaining injuries from which he subseeiuently died. Cohen, who visiterl Oroville eprite frequently, was in town Monday, anel while here managed in some way that needs looking into to secure considerable liquor. He left tor home sometime* during the night on horseback. He was discovered at 5 o'clock Tuesday morning by J as Duffy, the watchman at the tunnel, lying along side, of the railroad embankment, with a gash in his head and blei'eling very profusely. At that time Cohen was still- bleeding, although unconscious. Daily placed the body in a more conforlable position, and sent worel of the accident into town. It was a long time before Deputy Sheriff Carrel was notified, and when he re-ached the spot Cohen was elead. Officer Carrel got into communication with Coroner McCampbell, at Okanagan as soon as possible, and that official came up to Oroville at once. In company with L. W. Barnes anel Headmaster Nelson ho repaired to the scene of the accident on a hand car, returning late iu the evening with the r-emains. A thorough examination was maele of the body at Mi-. Barnes' morgue. The only outward anel visible sign of injury was a gash an inch, or an inch and a half, long above anel just back of the right ear. The skull was not fractured. The1 coroner was of the opinion from a superficial examination that the neck was dislocated otherwise it woulel be difficult to account for death following so soon after the injury. The only things found upon the clothing were a few scraps of paper, evidently well worn receipts, 50 cents in change, the fragments of a small bottle that had evidently contained whiskey, and a quart bottle of whiskey partly consumed. From the appearance of the ground near where the body was discovered it appeared that the horse commenced bucking on the side hill, and clown ovea- the railroad embankment, where the rider was thrown, his head striking a large rock. This was plainly evident from the quantity of blood on the rock. Cohen was a very heavy, stockily built man and must have struck the rock with fearful force. The only wonder is. under the circumstances that the skull was not crushed. The coroner did not consider it necessary to put the county to the expense of an" inquest, as death was plainly due to pure accident. The deceased was raised by the late Frank Richter, and lived in anel near Keremeos for 40 years. He was married, anel is stu-viveel hy a wife and a number of children, some of whom arc- grown. He was considered, a crack horseman, and it is somewhat strange that the animal was able to unseat him. No doubt liquor was responsible largely for his death, although the CONSERVATION A GREAT WORK It is a Patriotic Duty All Canadians Owe to Carry it On���������Ail Should Be Members of Association rough nature eif the country where the horse bucked would make it almost impossible for any kind of a rider, no matter how skillful, to letain his seat. It is stated that the horse is a vicious animal, and .some, time ago bucked off anel killed a brother of Indian Edwards.���������Oroville Gazette. The Canadian Forestry Association was founded in 1900 to hasten the solution of this great economic problem. Its mission is to organize the ideas and efforts of those who see the necessity for action, anel to stimulate those with whom the issue is not yet a burning one. It publishes the Canadian Forestry Journal, an illustrated monthly devoted to the interests of forest conservation. ft puts inquirers in touch with the best sources of information. Its officers deliver illustrated lectures. It holds conventions for I he interchange- of the latest and Imst ideas among forestry experts. The resolutions adopted at its meetings are regarded as an indication of the desires of the Canadian people with regard to forest reservation. Not a few of the administrative reforms of the past few years are directly traceable to the Association's le- coumicndations. At the present time it is urging upon the various Governments, limber owners and the public:��������� (1) The prevention of scjuatting or settlement on lands chiefly valuable for limber. (2) The placing of the employees of all forest departments under civil service regulation.'', hy which all appointments and promotions will be upon merit. (Hj The formation of co-operative fire protective associations. (-1) The adoption of effective means of disposal of logging debris. (5) A revision of the fire acts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In brief, it stands fora solid, progressive, scientific, business-like handling of all thenation's forest problems. It wants virile, business-like, far- seeing -'patriotic Canadians to join in the great work. Members get the Canadian'Forestry Journal every month, anil the annual report containing in full the addresses' at the Association Conventions,1 and are entitle*! also te> all the privileges of delegates at suchConventions. A normal annual fee of one dollar is charged. Such membership fees p.-iy less than one half of the Association's annual expenses.

It is also a conclusive reply to the plea that. Canada would have imposed an obligation on the British Government by providing ships for the Admiralty to maintain. It is clear now that iu the opinion of the. British Government the ships are neeeled, and that to such an extent an emergency exists, it is also clear that tin- Canadian gift would, instead of adding -in obligation to Great Britain, have reliever! the British taxpayer of the cost of the ships.

Dalton, Acting Manager FORGOT TO DRINK It is expected that the elehate on the Marconi committee report.' whicir is to occur today in the house (of com- mons.'will be exciting. In well in- .formed political circles it is asserted that both Sir Rufus Isaacs, Attorney- General,'anel. Da vie! Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, have offeree! to resign if necessai-y, but that Premier Asquith has refused to consider such a solution of the difficulty. The report of the committee, acquit- ting the ministers of corrupt practice, but charging them with inelescretion, appear to be a -party verdict only. It . is a report of the .Liberal majority, bub not of the whole majority. ' The Conservative minority has prepared a report which severely condemns the conduct of Lhe Atteirnuy-General, the .Postmaster-General, anel the late chief whip of the Liberal party, and sternly criticises the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Even the Liberal press is elivided em the que-stiem. The Nation, a leading Liberal weekly, says: '-The view of a section of the party is that Lorel Murray should be repudiated, that Sir Rufus Isaacs should resign and that Lloyd George should express his regrets. As to the future, a good many Liberals eleclare: that much depends on Lloyd George's speech in the forthcoming debate in the house. It is certain that the debate will have a powerful influence either for good or ill, on the fortunes of the party." The silence of the ministers as to their holdings of American Marconi, coupled with their elenial of holding English Marconi, which amounted to an implied deniid that they were holding any kintl of Marconi share's, can- nob well be taken in any other light than a deliberate deception. The American company is a separate concern, bub the government contract to After climbing well up the hill Saturday morning the engineer of the east houiiel passenger train discovered that the person whose duty it is to water the iron horse before starting out had overlooked that important duly, and he had to back down to the Oroville. water lank to secure the nec- c'ssary supply, which did.not tend to put the crew in a very good humor, while, the bae-k tracking of the train created a mild sensation in town as it- was feared that some accielent had happened lo something or somebody. ���������Oroville Gazette.

GENERAL NEWS
After a lawsuit lasting twenty-five
years, title has at last been perfected
by a grant of a patent to the townsite
of Loomis, "Wash., anel the holders, of
lots, that have the luck to still be in
the land of the living, will receive a
clear title_to_ l.theirrn-eiperj^y. Tn the*.;
mean time, the town has passed
through its era of prosperity, and dec-
lineel until the only inhabitants are a
handful , of the most optimistic believers in the future' These will now
reap at least some benefit from their-
faith.
A fatal accident occurred at Greenwood on' June llth, when Joe Davidson, C. P. R. agent at Midway, lost an
arm, his wife r-eceiveel fatal injuries,
and his infant child had a very.narrow,
escape. Mr. Davidson anel family were
on their way from Mielway to Greenwood on a gasoline.speeeler, whe*n they
crashed into a locomotive, which was
on its way to the turntable south of
town. Mr. Davidson fell outside the
rails, but his arm was caught beneath
the wheels. Mrs. Davidson was directly in front of the engine, and received
injuries from which she died a few
hours later. The child was thrown
clear of the train, arrd received but a
few bruises.
NOTICE
SlMIUCAMKK.V LAND DISTRICT
DlSTIUCT Ol'* VATli
The Gazette was in error last wei'k
in stating that the electric shock which
toppled Jack Howe tronr the pole
elowrr near the Rodgers residence, was
of 110 voltage, for it now turns out
that it was twenty times that, eir 2200
volts. There being a group of a dozen
or more transformers at the power
house, tho new electrician, Mv. Scott,
naturally concluded that the line
leading elown across the G-.N.R. track
to the Rodger's resilience, hael been
served by one of them, anel was 10-
duceel to 110 volts the: same as all the
other light lines, but instead of this
the transformer for this particular
line was elown at the other-end, anel
the line elown there was still carrying
its full voltage of 2200. It was rather
strange that the regular electrician
hael it that way without drawing attention to it, and it is a miracle that
the victim in this case1 was not killed
instantly with the shock apart from
the risk he ran in this fall from the
pole. As it was both points of contact of the current with his body were j
severely burned, anel he has a scorch-!
eel hand and foot as mementos of the
narrow escape which he had.

Leans Goodchap, provincial fire warden was in town Sunday anel reported that game warden Blurteiii, accompanied by another party, caused hinr great indignation by entering Iris home and demanding to' .search the premises fora supposed' concealment of heaver pelts. Goodchap claims these men took things too much into their own hands, going through his house from top to bottom, turning out trunks in their endeavor to locate the supposed pelts. The way these men used was not worthy of any officer' of Ihe law. Miss Haining, who is Mr. Gooelennp's aunt and housekeeper, is now under the care of Lire doctor', suffering from nervous prostration caused by the incident. Miss Haining was taken to Penticton by special auto. The reporter accompanied the carlo Penticton, so this is an outline- of the information given him' by Goodchap. A s'rei-ilT from across the* bdrih r came over last week to get Constable McGiulfio to assjst him capture* a desperate criminal, supposed lobe on this side of.the Hire.. On going down the valley theygot'track'of the criminal, whose name was Hatfielel with ninny aliases, and McGuffie arrested him in the garelen off Hans Richters, where* he was working, lie was taken to the house to enable; him to get a few clothes. While iir tlie house he start- ed to talk with Mrs. Richter and at the same time was gradually edging towards the front eloor. When he. hael gotten half way down the hall, lie ��������� made a dash for- liberty. McGuffie at this time was hitching up the team, preparatory to taking the prisoner to jail. Before* either 'officer 'realized' the* escape, Hatfielel had got a goenl start. They immediately gave chase, but he sought refuge: in senile very thick underbrush, anel by so doing :-evaded capture up till '.i o'clock Tuesday morning when constable McGuffie and 11. McCurdy captured him in a. barn on Thompson's ranch. A meeting was held' in Kerci'iieos in May with a view to organizing a branch of the AVonren's institute.
